What We Do

Since 2000 we have published projects tailored for small groups and individuals.

Our Beginnings

In 2000, Charlotte Anderson Crawford, a Kansas native, founded CrawforDesigns to facilitate desktop publication for chapbooks, newsletters, and visual displays. Post Rock Press evolved from CrawforDesigns, with a focus on providing nonprofit organizations with affordable and high-quality services. The business also engaged in book editing, emphasizing a dedication to capturing the historical narratives of individuals.

At Post Rock Press, we understand and value the effort and commitment required to share personal stories. We are dedicated to upholding the authenticity of each narrative, preserving the author's unique voice. Our commitment extends to ensuring the ethical treatment of our clients throughout the entire publishing process.

Operating as a hybrid press, we strive to align projects with the specific publishing services we offer. This approach ensures a customized and tailored strategy for each endeavor we undertake.
